3 Ways To Biohack Your Teeth

Dr. Ellie Phillips explains:

Creating the right environment:

Here are the promised three ways:

1. Use your saliva: your saliva already contains the minerals your teeth need to rebuild enamel. Leave at least a couple of hours after eating or drinking to let saliva do its work.
2. Eat mouth-friendly foods: support both digestion and oral health with foods like salad greens, celery, and beets that circulate minerals through your body. Include teeth-protective foods such as cheese and/or salty nuts, and also xylitol gum. Xylitol boosts healing saliva flow, nourishes helpful bacteria, and helps remove plaque. Best used as gum, as it’s good for your mouth but not so good for your gut.
3. Follow your mouth’s circadian rhythm: saliva is strongest around midday and weakest at night. Go to bed with clean, protected teeth. The middle of the day is ideal for “mouth resting” (avoiding food and drink) to let your saliva do its work per item number one in this list.

As a bonus tip, Dr. Phillips also reminds us that a healthy gut improves mineral absorption and saliva composition, with nutrients reaching the mouth (via the bloodstream) about an hour after eating. Exercise or even gentle yoga can enhance improve this flow of nutrients in the bloodstream.
